About a long side: a queer double portrait

Inspired by queer visual artists like Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Claude Cahun, and Mickalene Thomas, a long side: a queer double portrait plays with the radical contours of portraiture. With live and filmed dance, and more props than they originally anticipated, dance artists Rae Luebbert and Emily Ames embrace “queer” as a verb, alongside original, live music by Amelia Diehl. Layers of projection—and shared tea—create an immersive world that embraces the expansiveness of time, performance, and queerness.
